Simplified tent buying based on the essentials.

TENT COLLECTION

Whenever you're in the market to purchase a new camping tent, keep these four questions in mind and we're sure you'll make the right choice.

We boiled down tent buying into a top four list that will help keep you covered and comfortable for whatever is on the horizon. 1. How many seasons will I be using this tent in? 1, 2, 3, 42. What's my budget?3. How will I get my tent to it's destination? ie, Are you carrying it on your back?4. How long will I be spending time in the tent and what gear will I bring?

BasecampsBasecamp tents typically serve as your home base on expeditions and typically offer four season functinality. These tents are designed for comfort, stability and extended use but are definitely not something you want to haul in or out by yourself due to weight.

Springbar is everyone's beloved canvas camping tent, virtually unchanged since the road-tripping surge of the 1960s, and always sporting that iconic mid-century modern profile. Set up a few cots or lay out sleeping bags on the canvas floor to sleep eight comfortably, with breathable duck canvas cotton walls and a weather porch.

If you're looking for the best combo of size and price, look no further. Mountainsmith's Conifer 5+ comes in under $400 and sleeps five (plus a dog in the corner). Weighing in at 14 pounds it isn't one you'll want to strap to your backpack for a long hike. But it excels at vehicle-assisted camping, whether at a car campground or strapped to a 4-wheeler to go deep for a basecamp setup.
